I have no words for it, so here the thing: You can find this... jewel(?)... and many others here. But I have to admit that I like the all-black and grey-black Electros.

I've come across several places in the last few years that do custom repaints that are on the extreme end of the spectrum. I prefer to blend into my surroundings, and not stick out like a giant road sign... but that's just me. :)

There was ONE Yashica camera that came in a rainbow of colors -- the Samuaria Z2 (and perhaps the Z2L). This is NOT a repaint job. It was apparently only sold in Japan.
For some reason, I can't find my full-frame image, so this thumbnail will have to do.
Most Z's and Z2's are all black.

You are in luck, a guy in Japan is selling one for only 885 Euro here: www.ebay.com/itm/114489762574

That's it!!! Thanks.
P.S. I'll stick with my three plain, black Z's.

At least, they had to clean the camera before painting it ...

I’ve seen quite a few of these custom paint jobs over the last couple of years and have decided that (if I ever have money to burn) I’d quite like to get an RTS II done in gunmetal.

"Gunmetal" as a color, is a low gloss slightly blue-ish dark grey from my American color palette perspective. A few different shades, by paint manufacturer and Pantone colors: encycolorpedia.com/2a3439I've seen a lot of metal 'findings' and jewlery related stuff that's slightly more blue than the green-ish cast colors shown in that link, so I guess it depends on what the material finish is - treated metal, or paint.

Yeah, the colour. It's not too dissimilar to the 'Black' colour used on the Minolta XD-7 which is my favourite finish on any camera.

Most of the custom colour versions offered officially by Kyocera were not to my taste but I wish we could have had a 137MA in the NASA finish; that would have been very elegant.
My favourite colour is that of the S2b - a sort of dark titanium; I'd have loved an RTS Fundus in that finish. Although I'm not in favour of 'bling', I do love the rich gold of the limited edition Anniversary RTS cameras with their matching 50mm f1.4 Planars, perfectly offset by that beautiful lizard-skin leather (now thankfully banned from use). I'd like to be buried with mine...
The most beautiful, custom-coloured camera produced by a manufacturer that I have seen was a Mamiya 645 Pro TL in opalescent blue; had I the money, I'd definitely have bought that one.
